Arches National Park (Utah) preserves over 2,000 natural sandstone arches,
like the world-famous Delicate Arch, as well as many other unusual rock
formations. In some areas, the forces of nature have exposed millions of years of
geologic history. The extraordinary features of the park create a landscape of
contrasting colors, landforms and textures that is unlike any other in the world. The
entrance to Arches is located 5 miles north of Moab, UT along Highway 191.
The forces of nature have acted in concert to create the landscape of Arches
National Park, which contains the greatest density of natural arches in the world.
Throughout the park, rock layers reveal millions of years of deposition, erosion
and other geologic events. These layers continue to shape life in Arches today, as
their erosion influences elemental features like soil chemistry and where water
flows when it rains.

Arches National Park is located in a "high desert," with elevations ranging from
4,085 to 5,653 feet above sea level. The climate is one of very hot summers, cold
winters and very little rainfall. Even on a daily basis, temperatures may fluctuate as
much as 50 degrees.
The plants and animals in Arches National Park have many adaptations that
enable them to survive these conditions. Some species are found only in this area.
The diversity of organisms reflects the variety of available habitat, which includes
lush riparian areas, ephemeral pools, dry arroyos, mixed grasslands and large
expanses of bare rock.
